Joseph Morgan is begin deze maand getrouwd met Persia White in Jamaica. Het stel leerde elkaar kennen op de set van ‘The Vampire Diaries’, en verloofde zich in mei van dit jaar.

Sorry, ladies. Joseph Morgan is off the market.

The actor, who currently heads up the CW’s The Originals, wed his Vampire Diaries costar Persia White in an intimate ceremony in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on July 5.

“It had a very rustic feel to it,” White tells PEOPLE. “There was nothing about it that was overwhelming or very huge or fabulous in that way. We tried to keep everything really intimate and beautiful and sort of going along with nature.”

The bride wore a Vera Wang dress with a cathedral-length veil, while the groom sported an ivory-colored silk tux with black lapels by Miguel Wilson. “And then I had a bow tie,” adds Morgan. “In fact, the bow tie was the first bow tie I’ve ever tied myself, so I was quite proud of that.”

The couple, who met on the set of season 3 of The Vampire Diaries, exchanged vows in front of 26 guests at a private villa, within sight of where they got engaged.

“I think one of the reasons we picked it was because we love the ocean and we both grew up by the sea,” White says. “To be by the sea was wonderful. And the people of Jamaica are just wonderful.”

So, who made the exclusive guest list? “It was mostly family, a handful of close friends,” Morgan says. “My best man was my best friend of almost 20 years, Matt Ryan. He actually plays John Constantine on the new NBC show Constantine, but we’ve been friends since we were teenagers.”

The pair danced to Florence + the Machine’s “Never Let Me Go” for their first turn around the dance floor. But their favorite moment involved a band of Jamaican drummers.

“We had this great group called the Children of the Drums,” Morgan says. “It was six Jamaican drummers, and they got everybody up on the dance floor. At one point, all of our guests were on the dance floor, which is an achievement, I think.”

The food wasn’t too shabby, either, especially the cake, which was vegan – in keeping with the couple’s plant-based menu. “It was a triple-layer, chocolate on the inside and vanilla icing,” says White. “A beautiful, amazing cake.”

After helicoptering over to Negril for their honeymoon, the two relaxed by “partaking in the favorite local pastime – cliff jumping,” says Morgan. White adds: “That was what was more daunting than anything else. And we did it together, so we’re pretty proud of that.”

What’s next for the couple? Well, in addition to working on more film and TV projects together, they hope to start a family. Says White: “Little cute mini Josephs!”

http//: Wedding to Persia White in Jamaica (July 5, 2014)

Joseph Morgan heeft gisteren laten weten verloofd te zijn met zijn vriendin Persia White. Het stel ontmoette elkaar in 2011 op de set van ‘The Vampire Diaries’ toen Persia de gastrol speelde van Bonnie’s moeder Abby.

Sorry ladies, Joseph Morgan is officially off the market! On May 14, the ‘Originals’ star revealed that he and ‘Vampire Diaries’ star Persia White are now engaged! Congrats, you two!

Joseph Morgan may play an evil killer (who we are in love with) on The Originals, but in real life, he’s pretty romantic! The actor, 32, announced that his girlfriend Persia White — who you may recognize as Bonnie’s mother Abby on The Vampire Diaries, are planning a wedding!

“We really appreciate those of you who have supported our wild, creative, passionate and unlikely relationship. We have found a rare and precious thing; true love. We wish you all the same,” Joseph told Wetpaint.com in a statement.

Joseph met Persia, 41, in 2011 on the set of The Vampire Diaries and he was quoted in 2013 saying he was “very happy” with their relationship!

“I’m lucky enough, she came with me to New York to enjoy a little bit of the city. I get the weekend off so we get to experience a little of that. But that’s all I’m going to put out there, I’m going to keep the rest for myself,” he said at the time to Huff Post Live.

On May 15, Joseph confirmed the news again to E! at the CW Upfronts, but wouldn’t get into “specific detail” on how he popped the question.

“I tried to be romantic. It was a nerve-wracking moment but it was special,” he shared.

Our imaginations can fill in the rest. While we’re bummed he’s taken, we’re so happy for these two! Congrats!
